Eco-tourism now became a buzz word. Any thing which relates itself with forest or wildlife or artificially managed greenery associate it self or to be called as Eco - tourism...or eco- friendly...which is not always the case....this short shightedness of people & govts. is causing great damage to many ecosytems....some famous e.g are The Galapagos island, The trek for Sagarmatha (Mount Everest). The damge caused by the uncountabel number of people visiting in these palces, many a times are irreversible.....
People & governments always attach the "ECO" word with any kind of tourism & just thought that it is eco - tourism...no body bother to think about the ecologial foot steps of the people coming to those places....there is no any carrying capacity study conducted by the government, before giving the tag of eco - tourism...there is always a limit for intake of tourist at any place...at the same time there shoud also be consideration for the locals...the program which is to be started is really beneficial for the locals or not ? ...if it is not sharing the benefit with the locals residents then it could not be eco-friendly...people always form integral part of these kind of things.....
So, there should be proper study of any palce, before giving it the tag of Eco friendly tourist place...there should be also some kind of check toward tourist inflow...for sustainable future it should be manged in a proper way....Then only we can say that it is really a eco friendly program.....
